Jul 29 - Extreme Fundraising with Swasie Turner
Fundraiser and former Police Office Swasie Turner today visited the Chief Minister as part of his visit to Gibraltar to raise funds and carry out a wheelchair push up the Rock. Mr. Turner tragically lost his leg due to an act of violence in the line of duty, and then shortly after, his wife passed away due to cancer. From then, Mr. Turner became dedicated to the cause, finding himself carrying out the mist eccentric fundraising activities that have seen him and his standard NHS wheelchair travel across the World.
A Guardia Civil scuba diving unit recovered 120 kilos of cannabis shortly after it had been tossed over board by a smuggler’s boat which was destined for La Linea.
Day five of competition saw the main focus for Team Gibraltar center on the Barry Budden Shooting Complex on the outskirts of Dundee. Gibraltar's shooters had begun over the weekend with 10m Air Pistol and Air Rifle, but five more took to the firing points. Clay Target Shooters Kevin Cowles and Gary Cooper made solid starts to their first two rounds of shooting, Kevin shot 42 out of 50 while Gary closed on 36 out of 50. The pair continue tomorrow with a further three rounds before the final.
Gibraltar will soon roll out new, silver £15 coins that will bear images of the Queen and the Rock on one side, and the coat of arms on the other, either in rich authentic colours, which will be a first for a Gibraltarian coin, or with a diamond finish.
